10-Nov-06. 300 Ontarians allege lottery fraud. Calgary Herald, A10.

Ontario’s ombudsman said Thursday that three hundred Ontarians allege they were cheated out of their lottery winnings by dishonest ticket retailers. Andre Marin said all complainants have come forward in the two weeks since he announced he would investigate allegations in a CBC Fifth Estate documentary that an unusually high number of inside winners such as ticket retailers or clerks have collected major prizes over the past seven years.
